Two things are certain: 1) the Pakistani people are blissfully unaware or unconcerned about the ongoing swift decline of their country, preferring to watch Bollywood movies and design clothing for the next big social function rather than take part in saving their own skins, and 2) the Pakistani government is so unbelievably corrupt that it can never hope to win over those who are able to push back a Taliban cultural and militaristic onslaught. The corruption within all official entities is pervasive and goes straight to the top – the Pakistanis have no moral compass, and they know it, and are easily susceptible to claims they are “not good Muslims” and “we welcome Talibanization, because it will erase corruption and make us better Muslims” – heck even “Saint Imran” agrees with them!
